Monumental Church

Monumental Church is a former Episcopalian church located at 1224 East Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia. It was built from 1812 to 1814 to commemorate the 72 people who died on the site in the 26 December 1811 Richmond Theatre fire, and it became one of the United States' earliest Greek Revival churches. John Marshall, Edgar Allan Poe, and the Marquis de Lafayette were once parishioners of the church. It was deconsecrated in 1965 due to mounting costs, and it was turned over to the Historic Richmond Foundation.
